WILLIAM (BRUCE) NELSON
On Wednesday, October 24, 2012 Bruce
passed away at the Victoria General Hospital in Winnipeg, at the age of 81
years.
Born and
raised in Ottawa, he is survived by his devoted wife and best friend of
57years, Leslie (Scobie); children Linda (Norm), Stephen, Meredith (Neil);
grandchildren
Morgan, Carley, Hannah, Jacob, Emily,
Rheal and Natalie; and granddogs Lady, Fiona
and Cujo.
Bruce was a
longtime member of the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club and proud achiever of two
hole-in-one trophies. He travelled extensively in Canada and offshore where he
sampled many notable golf courses. His favourite destination was Maui. An avid
fisherman, Bruce enjoyed many summers with family at the cottage on the Big
Rideau Lake.
After
retirement, Bruce and Leslie moved to Winnipeg in the fall of 1997, a move that
brought them closer to family. Bruce enjoyed his spring and fall fishing
adventures in Lake of the Woods, where he was sought out for his famous
spaghetti sauce.
He was a quiet man who was loved and
respected by all who knew him. Those who
knew Bruce well appreciated his wit.
He will be forever remembered by his family
as a man of infinite patience,
wonderful humour and unending love.
Our family
is profoundly grateful for the care and compassion extended by health care
staff at Misericordia Health Centre, Golden Links Lodge and Victoria General
Hospital.
Internment
will take place at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa, along with a Celebration of
Bruce’s Life with family and close friends.
Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel is in care
of arrangements.
